Canon: The Pagan Mystery as the Rule of Arts - W. Stirling

The seminal work from 1897, this blend of ancient myths, art, architecture, and literature, has been the king of all esoteric exposes for over a century. Based on the idea that perpetual events and physical change are governed by intrinsic proportions, The Canon dives into Greek Kabbalah, Greek mythology, sacred numbers, and sacred geometry. Some have said the author revealed too many secrets and died young in mysterious circumstances, so these esoteric truths may well be worth checking out.
